    It cuts both ways, on the one hand you have legit antisemites hiding behind the fig leaf of Israel critique, on the other Israeli rightoids to fascists deliberately confusing being against them with being antisemitic. It shouldn’t be particularly surprising that Kahanites and the like call anything they don’t like antisemitic same as Nazis call anything they don’t like anti-German, they are, after all, the same shit with a different coat of paint.

    But there’s generally an easy solution to that: Be precise. Both sides of the conflict aren’t uniform hive-minds and pretty much whatever position you hold, you’ll find it reflected in either or (preferably!) both, somewhere. Worst thing that could happen is that you do some research and learn something about the local politics :)
